Lyrics to Lend a Hand

Help your brother man

Help your sister

Buju lend an helping hand to your brother

If you see him standing out in the cold

And would you lend an helping hand to your sister

Stop her from falling down in a hole

Would you sell your mother for silver

Or would you sell your father for gold

If someone should make you an offer

And that offer satisfy your soul

Never get caught up between two worlds

Make that decision, the choice is your

The things you do, believe in no one else knows

Man must be free like a river that flows

What into darkness must comes to light

Them two wrong, could never make a right

Like that green grass that you see grow

So small tributarys make great river flow

Lend a hand to the brother

If you see him standing in the cold

you fe lend an helping hand to a sister

Stop her from falling down in a hole

Neva you sell your mother for silver

Neva sell your father for gold

If someone should make you an offer

And that offer satisfy your soul

Man dreams and aspiritions

These days drifting away

Plauged by your constant wants and needs

Friends turn worst enemies

I do not know

What else to say

All I lament and pray,

Is I hope that they see the right way

Lend a hand to the brother

If you see him standing in the cold

You fe lend a hand to the sister

Stop her from falling down in a hole

Neva you sell your mother for silver

Neva sell your father for gold

If someone should make you an offer

And that offer satisfy your soul

Granny used to say, cow na go know the use of 'I'm tail till it's gone,

Sit and deh laughing and jeering them own brethren to scorn

Granny used to say, cow na go know the use of 'I'm tail till it's gone,

Sit and deh laughing and jeering them own brethren

You fi lend an hand to your brother

You fi lend a hand to your sister

A mi say neva sell your mother

A mi say neva sell your father

If someone should make you an offer

And that offer satisfys your soul

And that offer satisfys your soul

And that offer satisfy

Never get caught up between two worlds

Make that decision, the choice is your

The things they do, believe in no one else knows

Man must be free like a river that flows

What into darkness must comes to light

Whoa buju banton lead the people right

Them two wrong, can never make a right

Lord ya know lord ya knoww

Mi say lend an hand to your brother

If you see him standing in the cold

Mi say lend an hand to the sister

Stop her from falling down in a hole

Neva you sell your mother for silver

Neva you sell your father for gold

If someone should make you an offer

Never let it satisfy your soul

I beg them refrain

I talk to them, I call dem

I said own to dem me friend, I said

Granny used to say, cow na go know the use of 'I'm tail till it's gone

Sit and deh laughing and jeering them own brethren to scorn

Granny used to say, cow neva know the use of 'I'm tail till it's gone

Now sit and deh laughing and jeering them own brethren

Lend an hand to the brother

You fe lend a hand to the sister

Me say neva sell your mother

Me say neva sell your father.
